Ask an executive to justify continued SEO and content investment when AI is sending less traffic, and the honest answer used to be simple: search volume equaled opportunity. More searches meant more visits, more visits meant more chances to influence a decision, and traffic became the currency SEO teams used to prove their value. AI […]
I have dozens of conversations per week with folks in growth and marketing, ranging from directors, VPs of marketing, and CMOs to SEOs in the nitty-gritty day-to-day. If you want to go further, microsoft clarity now flags bots that ignore robots.txt covers it in detail. Many of my conversations involve measurement. This is an increasingly […]
Three months ago, I wrote about the Reddit earnings story most marketers missed. That first-quarter call wasn’t the financial story I expected, but looking back, it was Reddit putting the pieces of its future on the record: participation had become too difficult, community creation needed work, human conversation was becoming more valuable, and Reddit Answers could […]

TL;DR AI search reshaped how people discover and evaluate brands in 2025. Visibility now depends on freshness, off-site credibility, content clarity and how clearly content can be interpreted inside answers—not just how it ranks. Brand visibility is in a constant state of fluctuation. Only 30% of brands stay visible from one answer to the next, […]
Kevin Indig just settled an argument that’s been running in half-finished form since AI Overviews launched. Does topical authority that rewards brands for going deep on a subject instead of wide, actually carry over into AI search? Or is ChatGPT enough of a blank slate that a generalist brand can walk in and grab a […]
Treat Europe as one search market and you’ll misread almost everything happening in it.
